It’s after one am and I’m still up. Argh. 😳 Hehehehe 😊. There’s a lot going on around the world. And if I only watched the news once a week, and read through some tweets, news related, twice during the same week, you would think, no big deal. Yikes Batman!!!! One night of local news, two days of Twitter news, about 30 minutes both days and I’m up at 1am thinking, praying, questioning my life, this world, the future.

I believe these past couple of years are the first time in my life where I’ve felt physically sick about the choices of other people. To hear people deliberately, on purpose, mislead others, is something I never thought I’d see, hear, experience, etc.

Listen, I know it’s hard to watch the news. I say to stay as far away from news broadcasts, where opinions are often heard and not facts, as possible. Words are powerful. How words are used is powerful.

Be a consumer of truthful information, not opinion. When someone isn’t giving you facts with what they are saying, question it. Do the research. Be careful with using some sites that should be trusted because they’ve been altered or some factual data possibly deleted.

Go to the library or the library’s websites. Double check news stories with other sources. Don’t rely on your memory when it comes to factual information. Go to university websites. Go to your local legal library. Find out what the law actually says.
